NEWPORT NEWS, Va.,Feb. 4.
Lieutenant llerge, comronndlng the
prise ship Appam, talked for the
first time last night of his cruise. He
j ridiculed the suggestion that hla
i raider was the new fruit trader
j Tonga, insisting that It was the
Moewe. He confirmed the accounts
! of his rapture of the seven English
I vessels, and declared he had nothing
! to say regarding his future plans,
j When asked how hla crew felt
about their enforced idleness, the
'lieutenant squared his shoulders
proudly.
"Ah, my crew," he exclaimed.
"they are artiste. They take their
work aa It cornea. "
Cataaot aealcv Freely.
Apologising for any seeming brevity In
his remarks, the lieutenant said he spoke
as fully aa he dared, owing to his ex
traordinary position.
"It would tier useless," he enW. "for me
to repest the stories of the capture of
ihe seven HrlflSh "crews 'hy-fnysolf and
my men. The accounts that I have seen
have leen correct In almost every de
tail. "As to the Identity of the raider. I
can only say this, and I never shnll aay
more 'my ship was his majesty'
Moewe'."
"nut Is It thev original Moewe, or is It
another ship converted Into a war vessel
and given the name of the Moewe?' he
waa asked. .
The lieutenant appeared amused at the
question and lauphingly replied: "Again,
I aay It In Moewe."
And to many Interrogations as to when
the raider first was built, If It ever waa
a frelirhter. if plates from the old Mlnewe
were placed on It, and other questlona
that have mystified the world since the
prise crew brought the Appam Into port,
tha lieutenant 'only repeated, "it Is the
Moewe." ' i , .
Keep Them ta Himself.
If the lieutenant has any immediate
plans, he is keeping them well to himself.
He Insists that at present n is Just
waiting. Ua greeted with grateful smiles
the statement that various Englishmen
had complimented the prise crew on It
treatment of them. He said that he had
yet to hear of anyone being mistreated.'
Days and nights of constant vigilance
have told on the prle commander. In
stead of getting a rest, aa he hnd In
tended, when he came ashore tonight he
nervously paced ft hotel corridor, puffing
a cigar and blowing clouds of smoke into
the air until about 10 o'clock, and then
hurried back to the Appam. He wa
dressed in civilian clothes and only a
few persons recognised him.

Head of Industrial Home Urges the

ment Committee.
MANY SOON TO BE OUT OF WORK
Captain It. H. Kline, head of the
local Salvation Army Industrial
home, yesterday urged the appoint
ment of an employment committee
by tha mayor to deal with the prob
lem of securing work for several
thousand men who will be thrown
cut of Jobs when the Ice harvest
cornea to an end within the next ten
days.
He declared It waa work and not
charity which these men needed.
He aaid: ,
"In the course of a week or ten days
between 4.000 and 6.000 men will be
thrown out of employment, not because
cf their Inability to do a hard day's work.
but because of their Inability to find a
hard dey'e work to do. Only about me -man
m ten of those who will be Idle In
the next few weeka would I regard as ab
solutely and permanently unemployable
and unreliable.
lesimssltr Owes Debt.
"To these hard working and physically -fit
men th community owes a debt which
It must pay. Reserves of labor are ab
solutely necessary under our present sys
tem. In busy times we must hav men.
Then ahould not thesa men who have been
vsed for the benefit and expansion of In
dustry be taken care of during times of
depression and Idleness? ..
"'I would at this time advocate public
work 'for the unemployed Instead ef
charitable relief. I believe It. would be
much wiser for Omaha te supply these
men with work than It would bo to sup
ply them with food and lodging.
"Let us secure Joba from householder. -Have
you a yard to clean, a basement td '
whitewash, or any of the thousand and
cno odd Joba that are absolutely neces
sary at some time of tne year? If you
have, make provision for the doing of
them at once."
